Nc'nean AON Moscatel Single Cask (No. 17-165)
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Distilled in 2017, this single cask has a heady nose of glacé cherry, ginger root, dried vine fruit, blueberry muffin, butter toffee, marmalade peel, and festive spices. Orange marmalade on the taste buds, with the spices ramping up to a lengthy peppery buzz, layering on gingerbread and ripe fleshy plum; a splash of water delivers a sweeter profile of sugar-coated plums without altering the thick, mouthcoating finish.
